Hi Guys,
Not sure I have posted this in the right forum, but hopefully someone will give me some advice.
Been vaping for a couple of years now (not full time, still have a few stinkies at work)
Used a Nautilus tank to start with, but after a while stepped up to a Kangertech Kbox 160 with a kanger Kanger Toptank Mini.
Magic combination for me, at 60 watt, coil reads 0.23 ohm.
Found a love to vape all day ready made juice at 6mg.
Obviously got bored with that, and decided to make my own, so that I could make exactly what I wanted, and get a sense of achievement as well.
Results so far have been very (pardon the pun) mixed.
Some I liked, some I didn't, but that's the name of the game ;-)
I always end up back on the shop brought stuff for 3 or 4 days at a time.
Most of my DIY mixes are based around my favourite shop brought one.
70 % VG 30 % PG, and PG based flavourings, made to 6mg nicotine.
My main problem is that I seem to get an intense throat hit with pretty much anything I have made.
On the exhale I sometimes end up coughing more than with cigarettes (I smoke strong ones Marlborough, Chesterfield etc)
Tried lots of tweaking, cut the nicotine to 3mg, little change.
Diluted by 10 % with vodka, little difference, then heard that vodka as a dillutent actually increased throat hit.
The only thing I have not changed is the nicotine brand I have been using.
So this weekend now that further supplies have been sourced my plan is to right back to basics...
Got a bottle of Aqueous VG (so no need for vodka)
Got new nicotine from a different supplier.
Got flavours from several different suppliers.
Step 1 Vape pure Aqueous VG, if no problem go to step 2
Step 2 Vape pure PG, if no problem go to step 3 (not sure that will be a good experience.....)
Step 3 Make up 70 % VG 30 % PG, and vape that, if okay go to step 4
Step 4 Bring it up to 3mg nicotine, and vape that, if okay go to step 5
Step 5 Bring it up to 6mg, and vape that, if okay go to step 6
Step 6 Try each of the suppliers flavours to see if I can pinpoint one, or two that affect me.
I have 7 different tanks, but for direct comparison will do all tests in my trusty Kangertech.
Going to be a busy Bholiday weekend, the missus will no doubt go crazy, but I have to get to the bottom of this !!!
Sorry its been a long post, but wanted to get my issue across accurately.
Any suggestions from POTV members would be greatly appreciated to help me overcome this issue.
Many thanks in advance Badboybez.
